He hasn't looked all that great as of late, let's be real here. He was getting his ass handed to him by J.M.M. until his roids caused him to bomb out the 2nd half of the fight, like so many other fights for him. Jones easily stopped him in 4 rounds in his next fight. I never thought much of Big Truck. Good win for Enzo because he is a big step up from his other opponents, but I'd be hard pressed to have Big Truck even in my top 15 CW's.....

A man who has a good chin can..obviously his timings and reflexes have gone...thats why hes been off the radar
Great performance by Enzo, great heart by Braithwaite

Jones didn't easily stop him, Braithwaite was winning that fight until he got caught.
Enzo was excellent tonight, he is such an improved fighter. His jab is excellent.

I'd have to disagree with you there. Jones was bombing away on Truck right from the opening bell, from what I recall. It wasn't like Truck got hit with one, good clean punch, he was getting hit for all four rounds. After 3 full rounds, I think I had it 2-1 Jones going into the round of stoppage.....
Good performance from Enzo, but very disappointing from Braithwaite. Showed good resilience, but offered very little in return. His punches were slow and had no snap. Not taking anything away from Enzo, but that wasn't the test many expected. He didn't really get his chin checked at all.
